2014 Chevrolet Cruze engine complaints
Page 5 of 9: complaints 101 to 130 of 235, newest first, as owners wrote them.
This car has many problems. I am surprised it has no recalls. The problems start two years ago. The valve cover started leaking. Oil was everywhere. Got that replaced but it happened again, and then it happened again. Apparently the pcv valve is built into the valve cover. We are about to be on our 4th valve cover. It's currently inoperable. The water pump had to be replaced, the whole engine had to be replaced. This car is a money pit, and anyone who has ever bought it should be refunded for real. It's a piece of crap and has had nothing but problems, and causes nothing but stress. I will never buy another chevy ever again.
The engine was acting up. It felt like it wasn't getting the gas to shift gears. It felt like it was going to stall out. Took it to the shop and they replaced the knock sensor and did a tune up. The issue continued so we had to take it back again. We was told the piston melted and put a hole in the block. We bought it brand new, have taken it for all repairs and oil changes, the car has less than 90,000 miles. We are being told these cars have these issues and to join in a lawsuit because the motor needs replaced.
Car is not accelerating properly. This makes for dangerous driving conditions in areas with high speed limits such as the highway.
Had to change def reservoir and engine oil psi solenoid valve and my side serivce alert in broken too and at 26000 miles I ask for new car because I had 7 replacement part put on car I was deined new car
Faulty parts have caused issues with the engine, such as constant engine ticking, and squeaking when slowing down and below 1300rpm. Both of these problems I believe are causing the engine to have power loss and ultimately make this vehicle less powerful and become undependable. Beyond those problems I consistently get warnings about the traction control and stabilitrak. I am doing what I can to fix this thing but believe it should not have left the factory.
Message "A/C off, engine too hot" and fan running like crazy. Quick google search tells me this is a popular problem with this vehicle. Most suggestions said it would be a sensor. Changing the sensor worked for 3 days before problem came back. Just 6 months ago I had to replace the water pump and thermostat housing for an overheating issue as well.
Not sure what's wrong. I've fixed things already like mass flow sensor, air filter, motor mounts a valve leak. Cars been in and out of the mechanics for months. Cars engine shut off 2-3 times while driving with my daughter in the car!!!!!. Another time it turned off right after I started it up. The car is unsafe!!!!!! I've had it had 2-3 different mechanics. And the chevy dealership. The car never turns off for anyone but me. This past weekend I was attempting to pick up my car from one shop to take to another and it wouldn't start. This shop had the car for a week and a half and it never turned off until I went to pick it up. Now they still can't find what's causing the problem. I've spent 2 grand in labor and tows in just the last 3-4 months. I can't keep doing this!!!!!! Someone please help me figure this out!!!!!!
Serpentine belt shredded due you faulty valve cover/gasket
I bought the car two years ago and timing belt has to be replaced.
Intake manifold cover and gasket has had to be replaced twice already once at 30000 and once at 65000 miles. Part failure produces a loud screaming noise and restricts air intake into the engine causing very rough idling and loss of engine power. A recall for this part was issued on similar models, but not for the cruze eco. The recall needs to be expanded to include the eco models.
The shifter will not shift from 56th and a manual on the automatic
Warning light comes on say steering and traction light and said service steering and my engine come on code was o2 and 01 I had alot problems with sensor the car was in repair shop 11 time the first 3 year I make complaints try to get new car from gm they said no
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet cruze. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked in the driveway, the contact became aware of anti freeze on the ground. An independent mechanic determined that the water pump failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
Car will randomly turn off while driving. Sometimes it s full engine and power failure and sometimes it is just engine failure and accessories still stay on . This has happened since the car was new and has been looked into by several chevy dealers in my area. Autonation told me he had several other chevys that did the same thing.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet cruze. The contact stated that at start up, the check engine warning light illuminated. A message displayed which stated that the air condition was off due to high temperature. While driving at 15 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated and the vehicle failed to accelerate. The vehicle went into limp mode. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was then taken to klik lewis located at (720 e main st, palmyra, pa 17078, 717‑838‑1353) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the fuel tank was defective. The contact was also informed that the fuel tank started to melt which caused the hoses to be fused to the tank and caused the sensor to fail. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 83,557.
My heat stopped working when it was 8degrees out, by the time I got to work my car signaled on screen it was over heating and to idle engine. I pulled into gas station bought some coolant, let engine cool down drove the rest of the way to work and then back home. When I got home engine fan began coming (usually never hear it) called mechanic he knew exactly what it was over phone bc he sees the problem all of the time. Water pump leaking and a melted valve from over heating engine. Got both parts fixed $900 later.
I was driving down a 45mph road and the vehicle felt like it was hesitating to accelerate. The RPM's went up to 6000 and the service stabiltrak mesage came up. The engine felt shaky and I didn't have any heat. I took the car immediately to my mechanic and they said the coil pack and plugs were bad and repaired them.
Ever since owning the cruze, we've had nothing but engine issues. First the turbo went out a month after purchasing the car. Two thermostats and a complete oil flush. The engine blew at 104,023 miles. The car was flashing engine light and stabiltract light. The car since owning has made a very loud ticking noise. The car also had a hard time maintaining speed. Acceleration and deceleration. This happened any time the vehicle speed was over 30mph.
When driving the car flickers the radio in and out and then the radio gos completely out and service stability tracker and service service traction control pops up or the steering wheel locks and service power steering pops up and the car shut off right then and there.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet cruze. The contact stated that the check engine warning light illuminated while driving. The vehicle was taken to jack schmitt chevrolet of wood river located at (1870 e edwardsville rd, wood river, il 62095, (618) 259-4900) where the contact was informed that the catalytic convector failed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed and it was confirmed that the catalytic converter failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that the catalytic converter was replaced twice at an independent mechanic. The contact stated that the failure persisted but was not taken to an authorized dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000. The VIN was invalid.
Driving down the highway diesel cruze threw a code stating 'diesel exhaust fluid quality poor see owners manual 99 miles till 65mph' we took it straight away to the dealership spent two hours there for them to say everything was fine this was the end of november. Used our other vehicle to go on vacation for half of december back and driving the cruze again it's now throwing the same exact code.. Maybe 200 miles on it since the last time in the shop... Will be taking it back in the morning (the guy stated last time he didn't know much about it) have no other choice because I can't make it to any other dealership before it shuts me down to 4mph.
Car shakes when at red light or jerks when pulling off.the engine also overheats.
There's a coolant pump made of plastic that has cause serval leaks after getting this leaked fix 2x it continued to leak and caused a failed head gasket and cracked head
While driving at freeway speeds(70 MPH) the car suddenly downshifted and revved the engine very high(6,000 RPM). The car lost speed and would not downshift. Punched the gas and engine returned to normal. Check engine light came on shortly thereafter. Took to dealer and they state turbocharger is bad. The car only has 62,000 miles on it.
No warning turbo failure that cases vehicle to lose power suddenly I was on freeway when engine light came on and a engine power reduced warning came on went to auto zone and they said it was a p0299 have seen a lot of info on the internet net saying that the turbo has gone out this is bad when your at freeway speeds
Radiator, thermostat
Gasket cover, turbo oil feed and return line.
I had my stabilitrak and traction control lights and my check engine light come on my vehicle while driving down a normal city road in sunlight on a clear warm day and my vehicle started idling very roughly while driving and I was right by autozone so they ran codes and found out it said knock sensor and misfire. Well I drove it home 5 mins down the street and park it. Well I take it to my mechanic the following morning and he does a diagnostic and piston check and turns out my spark plug burned so bad it was burned away where the l hook is. And found out that it broke in my combustion chamber somewhere . Now I have to get this all fixed and its costing a few thousand dollars.
For about one to two months now, my car has been having trouble when I'm going at highway speeds. When I accelerate, with it sometimes not having me to accelerate, my car feels as if it "can't keep up". This is more noticeable when I'm going up a hill or any elevation. One second I'll be going 70 MPH and the next the tachometer shoots up to past 4 and 5. I'm scared that it will badly effect my engine going that fast since this has not happened beforr so I have to take my foot off the gas for it to slow done and 'catch up' before I can accelerate again. I have been informed by a chevrolet dealership this is due to the turbo.
